CEILING-FAN I-IAE'GER Application filed August27, 1926. Ito 131,928;

My invention relates to ceiling fan hang ers and more particularly to fan hangers from which fans may be removed without spilling and wasting the lubricating oils 5, and t \e object is to provide a simple construction f1 which the fans can be removed without til ing the fans to one side and from which the fans may be removed by lift' the f directly upward and then direetl for the removal of the fans, in l necessity of removing the stem trom he ing. One of the advantages of the improved hanger is that only short ladders are necessary after the first installation. 0th bjects and advantages will be fully exp nned in the following description and the invention will be more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this ap lication.

Fig. 1 is aside elevation of the motor and hanger and stem; I

Fig. 2 is a broken vertical section, showing the connection of the stem and lug and motor.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the plug or head which connects the stem and the motor.

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the hanger and connecting parts assembled...

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the plug or head. 7

Similar characters of reference aroused to indicate the same parts throughout the several views. 7 I

A fan motor 1 is shown in conventional form and a plug or head 2 is provided and slidably mounted in the upper part of the motor casing 3. The head 2 has vertical grooves 4c and the head 2 has seats 5 for lugs 6 which are formed on the upper part of the motor casing 3. The head 2 is provided with cavities 7 and the lugs 6 have tips 8 which seat in the cavities '7. To install the device,

place the head above the motor casing and adjustthe same that the two lugstS will pass down the grooves 4. The head 2 is let low enough so that the head will swing or rotate below the lugs 6 and tips 8. The head 2 is then turned one quarter turn and this drical extension, inwardly projecting lu 's 17th day of July, 1926.

will bring the seats 5 directly under the lugs 6. Then lift the head 2 directly upward.

The lugs 6 will fit in the seats 5 and the tips;

8 of the lugs 6 will fill the cavities 7. The head 2 may be rigidly secured to themotor casing 3 by set screws 9; Gui-rent wires 10 are run down in the hollow stem 11 and out through an opening 12 and run along in a groove in the casing 3 and then they are fastened down on the motor casing by binding screws 14: which connect with the windings of the motor 1.

To dismantle the device, loosen the bind-v and raise the motor directly upward until the lugs 6 willpass above'the head 2. Then turn themotor casing one quarter turn. The

the bottom parts of said seat-s, tips on the bottom parts of said lugs occupying said cavities, andset screws for securing said head in said casing. 3 v I 2. A fan hanger comprising a motor casing having an upwardly extending cylinformed on said cas-ins a cylindrical head provided with a hollow rod connection at its upper end and having vertical grooves in the sides thereof for passage of said lugs and having seats-in its up ice for said lugs and cavities in ear seat, tips formed on sald luo's and ada Jted to occu W said cavi- O V ties and means for securing said head in c n said casing.
